The Tampa Bay Bucs have shown flashes of being that dominant defense of old. While most people wrap around the sacks of Michael Bennett, the tackling of rookie safety Mark Barron or the pure disruption of Gerald McCoy, it is easy to miss perhaps the most important clog: nose tackle Roy Miller.

Most of the season, Miller has demanded double teams that have allowed the Bennetts and McCoys to do damage.

That is why his current back injury should be a concern.

Miller missed practice on Thursday and was limited on Friday.

Bucs head coach Greg Schiano said Miller felt much better on Friday but was not sure if he would be able to go on Sunday.

Against one of the top rushing teams in the league in Kansas City, that could be a huge problem.

Knowing Miller, he will try to go. But if he is ailing, the Bucs may be too.
